Transferring a digital initiative: The E-COOP experience

The component 4 of ecoop aimed to act as a field research add-on to the work carried out within Component 3 (exchange of experience) supporting the E-coop methodology.

It implied partial or total transfer of BP identified through C3 within a voluntary territory in Poland.
